Leonardo “MkLeo” Lopez is Evo 2019's Super Smash Bros. Ultimate champion. He barely survived grand finals opponent Gavin “Tweek” Dempsey, eventually resetting the bracket and solidifying his reputation as the strongest player in this relatively young game moving forward.

If anyone who’s not watching EVO’s Super Smash Bros. tournament felt a sudden and inexplicable wave of grief, that was sympathy for Light falling victim to ProtoBanham’s ruthless Lucina. It was ProtoBanham’s second time playing Smash abroad from Japan, according to a GoFundMe raising money for his EVO attendance.

There’s a “completely new Guilty Gear” coming in 2020. Little information was shared during Arc System Works’ brief Evo 2019 presentation, but it looks gorgeous and the crowd obviously ate it up. Stay tuned.

Masato “Bonchan” Takahashi has been crowned Street Fighter V champion at Evo 2019.

Hajime “Tokido” Taniguchi has been eliminated from Street Fighter V competition at Evo 2019, ending his weekend at 49th place. A perennial favorite, Tokido won the event in 2017 and placed second in 2018.
